Unlocking a GEBs Future:
Accelerating Coordinated Utility Programs for GEBs

Moderated by Rich Philip, PLMA Executive Director
and featuring Kate Strickland of Smart Electric Power Alliance

Thursday, April 6, 2023 | 12:30 to 1:30 pm ET

The U.S. electric power industry is in a transformational era. With the potential to save up to $18 billion in power system costs and 80 million tons of carbon emissions annually, grid-interactive efficient buildings (GEBs) are critical to achieve a modern, carbon-free energy system.

As part of the accelerating industry focus on carbon-reduction targets and strategies, utilities are increasingly embracing innovative demand-side resources and programs, including leveraging energy efficiency (EE), demand flexibility (DF), demand response (DR) and distributed energy resources (DERs) in the residential and commercial sectors to develop GEBs, which can be used as a resource. 

This presentation will highlight SEPA’s Accelerating Coordinated Utility Programs for Grid-Interactive Efficient Buildings: Practitioners’ Perspectives study, supported by the U.S. Department of Energy and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. This work examines the current state of coordinated energy efficiency, demand flexibility, and demand response utility programs that support GEBs, and how programs are transitioning to integrate energy conservation and active management of electricity in buildings for the direct or indirect provision of grid services. By gathering insights from utilities, program administrators, technology solution providers, and regulators about energy program business models and regulatory frameworks, the study provides: 

  • Practitioner perspectives on challenges to and potential solution strategies for the building energy program transition
  • Identifies challenges of deploying effective coordinated energy efficiency, demand flexibility, and demand response utility programs
  • Provides solution strategies to support all stakeholders looking to unlock a GEBs future

How Dialogue Works. When you register for a Load Management Dialogue, you are welcome to submit a comment or question for the speakers in advance. After brief introductions, the featured speakers will make a short presentation followed by a moderated audience Q&A discussion. Following each Dialogue, both the presentation slides and a recording will be added to PLMA's Load Management Resource Center, for access by all PLMA stakeholders. You are welcome to return to the Load Management Resource Center anytime to watch PLMA Dialogues following their broadcast date.
